Oman expansion outlined

17 August 2005

Oman Cement which currently operates with an installed production capacity of 1.6Mta saw its production output decline to 405,267t during the first three months of 2005 from 412,260t a year ago, prompting the firm to import some 41,183t of cement to meet high demand due to several housing and infrastructure projects. As a result, Oman Cement recently decided to expand it production output by another 1.4Mta in order to meet increasing domestic and international demand. According to Jamal Shamis al-Hooti, Oman Cement’s Chief Executive Officer, the capital expenditure on the planned upgrade project will largely depend on the selected technology.
